new axe (not a bass).. finally got pics

I gotta new axe a couple months ago..
finally got around to taking a picture.
its a 80s squier II.
Replaced the Stock Humbucker
with Dimarzio super Distortion pickup
The two stocks from what i know are stock but they sound pretty decent and they are loud.
The tuners suck kinda so im gonna get locking ones soon. It was sitting at a pawn shop for 236. I traded my washburn acoustic for it for about 100 bucks flat.
=D

nice strat luisnovelo. the wood color is awsome.
a friend of mine, bandmate actually, got a squier strat at a pawnshop for really cheap, and we all thought it was going to be this POS, turns out this thing is incredible! its got 59 & 61 strat pickups in it, and it has this switch on it that none of us know what exactly it does, but it changes the sound from a twangy CCR type sound to this amazing fu-manchu, blacksabbath type tone. the guy at the shop told him that this was a one of a kind & thathe was sad to see it go. bottom line : pawn shop guitars can be better than anything.

yes it is.. for a squier strat. It was originally painted solid wine. A friend of mine and I did the same on his Squier Stagemaster (?) the one with floyd rose and reversed headstock.. The body was a puzzle of the cheapests of woods.. Looked like pine indeed.
I not sure where was his from, but mine was Korean.
